Arbitration Committee or the Board of For March and April. WM. MoCREERY, V. P. B. CAMPBELL, ISAIAH DICKEY, B. PRESTON, 8. B. McELROY, WM. MEANS. TO LETS for balk atthis office. The War Excitement. With the pleasaDt weather of yesterday the display of patriotism by our citizens corres pondingly increased. The streets wore a holi day aspect and the stars and stripes, displayed at every corner, the martial music and men in military garb gave our city an appearance similar to that it presents on the Fourth of July. But the occasion of the excitement is far more serious and anxious countenances in* dicated that the people were in earnest and tha( they were inspired with a spirit of patri otism that will not die out until the honor of our government is vindicated and those who oppose it are conquered or silenced. The companies to which we have already referred are nearly all filled with the required complement, viz : seventy private* and seven officer*, and during the day they marched through the streets, chiefly in oitiaenß' dress some with bands of music, others silently. Such companies as have too many men en rolled will be reduced to the number above stated and tbe overplus drafted to other com panies which have not enough. But two reg iments, twenty companies, of 77 men each, in all 1640 men, will bo called from this point at present. Tbe following companies have re* ported themselves to Gen. Negley and will probably be ready to receive marching orders to day or to-morrow: Duquesne Greys, Capt. Campbell; Jackson Independent Blues, Capt. MK.ee; Washington Infantry, Capt. Rowley ; Zouave Cadets, Capt. Roberts; Allegheny Rifles, Capt. Gang ; Turner Rifles, Capt AuJuDg; Stale Guards, Capt. McDowell; Begley Zouaves, Capt. Irvine; Pennsylvania Zouaves, Capt. Gerard; City Guards, Capt. Brereton; U. S. Zouaves, Capt. Segrist; Pennsylvania Invinciblea, Capt. Trovillo; Scott Legion, Capt. Rippey ; Light Guards, Capt. Robinson ; Firemen’s Legion, Capt. Stewart. Of these tbe Greys, Blues, Infantry and Ca dets have tbe full complement and may re ceive marching orders at any time. Tbe Neg ley Zouaves are fully organized and will be ready to leave to-day, as will also Capt. Tn> viUo’s Invincibles. The Turner Rifles, with between eighty and ninety men, under command of Capt. Am lung, left for Harrisburg last night by the nine o'clock train. The remainder of the company leave to-day in oharge of Lieut. Heckleman.— Tbe same tram look twenty-five of tbe Alle gheny Light Guards under Lieut. Braun, for ty of tbe United States Zouaves, Capt. Segrist and a large detachment of the State Guards under Lieut. Dawson. An immense crowd assembled at the depot to see the troops off, and the train moved away amid martial mu sic, cheering, waving of hats and handker chiefs. Gen. Negley’s head qu&rten are at the Girard House, room 74, and business is rapidly transacted there, tbe place being constantly crowded by persons seaking information. Here everything passed off quietly and pleasantly and with the regularity of clock-work. The arrangemenU for the utmost dispatch of busi ness, so necessary in these emergencies, are pefect. Gen. Negley has cancelled the commissions of his staff officers, as new ones must be elected when Ihey go into service. Becruiting is still going on successfully. The new Independent companies are rapidly filling up and new ones are forming. At the Port Pitt Works an artillery company called the “Fort Pitt Light Artillery, 1 ' numbering sixty men, all belonging to the works, has been formed. They have a battery of four guru, furnished by Messrs. Knapp, Budd & Co. The following are the officers elected : Captain, H. F. Budd, Esq.; First Lieutenants. N. K. Wade, Jos. Kaye; Second Lieutenants, W. Metcalf, I. M’Feely, Bd. Kaye, J. Ste venson; Sergeants, J. Botelier, J. H McEl« roy, C. Denight, J. Oupples; Corporals, Hart meyer, Bormg, Taylor, J. Scott. The compa ny i» Intended for borne protection, and will not go to the wars, as their services would not be accepted if they desired it, the Washington Artillery having been notified that only in fantry and riflemen are now needed. This will also exclude the Pennsylvania Dragoons. A Welsh company is also forming. Oapt. Trovfllo’s company is nearly full and Capt- Stewart has a goodly number. Oapt. Leon, ard had thirty-one yesteidsy, tut he informed .us in the evening that eleven had deeerted and gone off on a coal-boat trip. Capt. Frank Bobinson’s company, under the influence of the $2O bonus offered,is rapidly filling; another detachment will be sent off to-day. The other pfflcersareH. K. Tyler, First Lieutenant; G. L. Braun, Second Lieutenant, S. Glass, Third Lieutenant, and W. Harris, Orderly Sergeant. Wm. C. Gallagher announces his intention of raising a company for the fray, to be called the “Shields’ Guards.” He thinks that as the Germans have shown their patriotism by sending the largest company so far, our Irish citizens should endeavor to emulate them. He invitee them and all others who wish to enlist In the Shields’ Guards. A. Carneigi, Esq., Superintendent of the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Bail road, deßires companies starting for the East \to give notice to him, that extra oars for their convenience may be provided. Mr. Carneigi may be found at the outer depot, and as soon as notice is given he have such arrange* menu made as will secure the speedy transmis sion of the troops over the road. The ladies are, we understand, busy in pre paring flags for the volunteers and several presentations are being arranged. Yesterday morniog it was thought the pro curing of necessary equipments would cause some delay and inconvenience in getting the soldiery started at an early day. But our citi zens were equal to the emergency. B. F. Jones and M. K. Moorhead, Esqs., started a subscription list, for the purpose of supplying the companies with uniforms, and last evening $4,000 had been subscribed. All sums over $lOO were rdfSsed, and with a lew exceptions the demand was promptly met Some offered $5,000 or $lO,OOO, and others pledged their en tire fortunes, If necessary. But not more than $lOO 'would be taken from any one. Tbe ... . - ■* *• 1 * A.B "O- - : *' v-,*t /*■ a. _■“■-■■ :VV7*' % - - ■•'*. ’r *■,: $* r ■ ‘ !' w- + - N*. _ ' ®!jt JJtttebura!)

Oil fbom thx Kakawha.- The Parkers burg Gazette says:—“The rains in the early part cf the week, served to swell the Little Kanawha sufficiently to enable another fleet ■ f fiat boats to descend from Ibe Oil Regions.

These boats will average one hundred barrels each: making the snug amoul of twenty thousand barrels, that will roach this place in a few days. It is said that ihs most of the oil on its way down, at this time, is rent o’l.
